E-W Highway Summary

Yes, living here in the fast-pace city is draining. Sometimes I even ask myself what is my purpose. It is easy to get ‘lost’ in this concrete world, for probably I have been doing a lot of mundane stuff that I eventually lost myself. I guess I need a change in environment to bring some senses to me. I’m glad the past five days rejuvenated me.

Physically, yeah, I give myself a 1 skill point up for my biking. Given all those climbs for the whole 3 days that we were riding, I would have given up and take the support vehicle if I was 3 years ago. Yes, back then I would have given up and succumb to pain. This time round, not anymore. I finally know how to make full use of cadence and rpm to sustain myself up. Yes I did it right, without pain.

Mentally. Alot of psycho-ing that I did to prepare myself for the worst. Lucky it wasn’t that bad. But still, during those long strenuous climbs, there were times that I would think of stopping and there were times that I was tired. It takes lots of determination to move, and I kicked my own arse mentally many times to continue going. It was also the time that it made me forget about the real life back here, and totally de-stressed me. I’m surprised. Well, what didn’t kill me will make me stronger.

Spiritually. Well, God and the bike have a relationship. Seriously to me, both are inter-linked. Not gonna elaborate more here on what happened cos’ it’s a scared thing to me, but yeah, one part of the trip suddenly made me realize something that I long forgotten.

This week is gonna be slow, but yup, I will try to edit the movie and photos as soon as I can. :)
